Shanghai’s new urban planning plan (1999-2020) initially envisaged the resplitting of Shanghai into nine new districts in order to decentralise the city’s economic and industrial activities. These new districts propose to integrate neighbourhoods that evoke European urban landscapes: English, German, Dutch, Spanish, Swedish... Some of these districts are now built and others are not. The interest is to explore how people, residents, integrate and become acclimatising into these new landscapes, whose new urbanisation is affecting morality and new urban practices.
